Hip-Hop Rumors: Cincinnati Bengal Cedric Benson Wilds Out at SXSW!
When AllHipHop did the Breeding Ground at SXSW, we knew it would be a crazy time. But it apparently got super crazy when a certain NFL player was going through the venue (Kiss N Fly) on an apparent tirade to menace people. According to sources, Cedric Benson was a terror up in the venue, which was very crowded. Timbaland and Snoop were there performing. Meanwhile, downstairs the Cincinnati Bengals’ Cedric Benson was getting upset with the people of VIBE magazine (sponsor of the event) because they asked him to move from the stage where pictures were being taken. (We’ll just add in the fact that several women in the VIP section were acting super thirsty around the NFLer – doing body shots off each other and whatnot to get his attention. But we digress…) Now, Cedric did move to the side as other artists came to the stage to take pics, but he didn’t depart. This prompted several people working the event to continue to ask him to get off. He seemed to get very, very irate and upset and got into a shouting match with the girl manning the camera. He was upset because he called her a b*tch and she didn’t appreciate it. According to a source, Cedric said, “I could buy this place!” Then some of the people said they were going to call security. But this time, Cedric had some of his boys with him. They said, “Go get security!” Security never did show up. He left and came back, but nothing much came about it. Then upstairs, somebody claims that Cedric got into a confrontation with somebody that left him bloodied. There are conflicting reports. One said he was bleeding from the arm and another from the face. Nevertheless, the security in the whole place convened on this confrontation. This part took place upstairs as Timbaland was performing his new songs. We don’t know all the deal, but we know this…Cedric is a wild guy! Let’s get football training started!!!!

Eminem Affiliate Denaun Porter Announces New Solo EP “tHe mEmO”
(AllHipHop News) It’s been over 10 years since Detroit’s D12 made their major label debut, Devil’s Night. Since then, the group has undergone challenges – the most significant being the death of leader, Proof, in 2006. Following his death, Denaun Porter stepped up to act as rapper Eminem’s hypeman during his infrequent stage shows. A producer who has contributed hits to most “Shady” affiliated artists like 50 Cent, Snoop Dogg, Royce Da 5’9”, and more, Porter is stepping out on his own with a new album, tHe mEmO, and a new production company, My Own Planet. “I’m just really stepping out on faith. Encouraging people to take that leap with the life we have left and LIVE IT!” Porter told AllHipHop.com in an exclusive statement reacently. “Do what you need to do to make yourself happy.” His first solo project, tHe mEmO, is an EP, to be presented by My Own Planet, and includes a title track first featured on Royce Da 5’9”’s album, Success Is Certain. Porter produced and sang on the hook, and one version features Joe Budden, and on another, Big Sean. Porter plans to develop and produce several artists who will follow his release. tHe mEmO is being released as “Denaun,”, his first name, not his previous moniker, “Mr. Porter.” He states that this is him in his purest, rawest form: “I’m representing regular people with regular problems. People trying to find themselves. The music is “conscious” music. Each song has a powerful message. This is me expressing a higher level of creativity.” tHe mEmO has yet to be released, but check out the teaser video below. Denaun Porter is currently in Austin for SXSW with Eminem.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Did Jay-Z Forget the Lyrics to “Empire State of Mind”?
Jay-Z is a man who does not seem easily shook. He’s been performing live for over 15 years, has played to sold out crowds at Madison Square Garden. and even sold out Yankee Stadium. This guy is a pro. Well, according to several reporters who attended Jay-Z’s Amex Sync Show on Monday night in Austin, Texas during the SXSW Music Festival, Jay-Z forgot the lyrics to two of his biggest songs! Reports are saying that Hov forgot the words to his Grammy winner, “Empire State of Mind” as well as to the classic “Jigga What, Jigga Who”. The concert received mixed reviews, with one reporter commenting, “The concert’s first half gave the impression of a man performing for a corporate-sponsored promo event. This was not the rapper’s finest 90 minutes.” – Wow, really? Maybe Jay had an off night. We’re all entitled to those, aren’t we? Anyone see the show? Did Jigga really flub his lyrics?
